A man in Thailand who was shot at over 10 times while he was in his car reportedly survived because of his amulet.

On Monday (19 Aug), a 52-year-old office manager visited a police station in Phan Thong District in Chonburi Province with his bullet-riddled car to report an incident regarding an attempted murder, Thai news site Khaosod reports.

Mr Payungsak (name transliterated from Thai) was shot at more than 10 times while he was in his car.

Unexpectedly, the victim survived without any injuries.

While there were multiple bullet marks on his car, none of the bullets caused Mr Payungsak any injury.

One of the bullets hit his wristwatch, causing it to shatter, but Mr Payungsak remained unscathed.

Talking to the press, he said that this was all because of an amulet that he got from a temple in Trang Province. He said he had worn it for over 40 years and believed it protected him from being hurt in the shooting.
